Click here for an article by Shawn Boburg in The Washington Post entitled "A guide to the friends and patrons of Clarence and Ginni Thomas," subtitled "These are the associates of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni, who have given gifts, made payments or otherwise supported the couple based on recent reporting from various news outlets."
It's limited to various gifts, et cetera, from Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo, and H. Wayne Huizenga. Nice to live a billionaire lifestyle on a federal paycheck of roughly a quarter-million a year.
You might think that obvious Supreme Court corruption would be a bipartisan issue; sorry, no. The Democrats, led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island), are investigating; the Republicans are resisting the investigation tooth and nail. I can't think of one issue where the Republicans are in favor of the little guy, the common man, the underdog. Every issue you can think of, they side with the rich and powerful.
